The Fourth Republic
The republican government of France between 1946 and 1958, known as the Fourth Republic was governed by the fourth republican constitution. It was in many ways a revival of the Thrid Republic which was in place before World War II, and had many of the same problems. France agreed on the constitution of the Fourth Republic on October 13, 1946.Some attempts were made to strengthen the executive branch of government, to prevent the unstable situation that had existed before the war, but the weakened end remained and the Fourth Republic saw frequent changes in government. The Fourth Republic oversaw an era of great economic growth in France and the rebuilding of the nation's social institutions and industry after the war. Yet, it is best remembered for its constant political instability and inability to take bold decisions regarding decolonization.
